“The contact owns a 2025 Chevrolet Blazer. The contact stated that after the vehicle was repaired under NHTSA Campaign Number: 25V433000 (PARKING BRAKE), while driving approximately 45 MPH, the Forward Collision Avoidance system erroneously activated, causing the vehicle to abruptly stop in the middle of the road.

“At a low speed, between 10 and 15 mph, the forward collision system automatically triggered and brought the car to an immediate stop. While we were lucky that no car was following behind us, the passenger and I experienced significant whiplash and lasting back pain as a result of this. The vehicle has not been inspected by anyone, and not been reproduced. The forward collision system flashed (red warning light, alert).”Owner report · Service Brakes · Dec 2025
“1. Vehicle has a horrible squeaking sound coming from the brake pedal area. First dealer diagnosed it as the master cylinder needing replacement. Noise did not go away and GM said that it is normal. The noise is not normal and has never been on any other car I have owned. 2. When reversing, the car sometimes abruptly slams on the brakes as if it is avoiding a collision even though no collision is close to happening. GM refuses to fix the problem.”Owner report · Back Over Prevention · Sep 2025
“There is a really bad rattling noise that comes from the dash. The dash at the windshield you can push down very easily. Whem driving on rough road the ratteling noise is very loud and distracting. During daylight driving you get a very bad glare from the dash board in the windsheild. I havent found a dash mat yet to fox the problem temporarily but some people have mentioned trying felt.”Owner report · Visibility/Wiper · Sep 2025
“My windshield is defected with no real time when a replacement can be ordered..the interior lining is not sealed properly which is causing a buckling effect by drivers and passengers visors.. Rain is getting inside and soaking into the dashboard causing the electrical system on screens to blink in and out Finally my brake harness is still on recall and my car has been shifting into park which could cause severe problems if I am on the highway..”Owner report · Electrical System · Sep 2025
“At certain times of day it is nearly impossible to see through the windshield as the glare from the dashboard reflection is very bright. The attached pictures do not really show the extent of the glare.”Owner report · Visibility/Wiper · Aug 2025
“The motorized charge port door no longer opens. There is no manual operation rendering the vehicle unable to charge. This presents a potential hazardous situation if the error occurred during a road trip where there are greater distances between charging stations and services. GM customer service and OnStar could not resolve the issue when contacted.”Owner report · Fuel/Propulsion System · Jan 2025
